...Fitchburg. Not much was to be expected of the first game of a newly made-up nine. The game was long, and in general uninteresting, with occasional brilliant plays. The ground was execrable, and the infielders waited for the ball with but little hope of judging it correctly. Every man, with the exception of the outfielders, who did not have the opportunity, tried his hand at muffing with marked success. Hooper's pitching, as usual, deserves mention, and Tyng's line catch was one unsurpassed in the records of professional playing. The umpire's decisions were, with...
...Rollstones of Fitchburg, and the second game in the series with Yale. They have won two games from the class Nine of '76, and two from Yale '77, besides defeating the Excelsiors and Mystics, and tying a game with the Unas of Charlestown.

...Commons, owing to the increase in the numbers of the club, and to the skill and experience of a professional steward. In respect of all these the club is certainly far ahead of the old railroad-depot. The waiters are quick and intelligent, and as each man has but one table of twelve students to serve, they do their work very satisfactorily; the food is cooked much better than at the Thayer, and is served infinitely better; and the members of the club have the privilege, to quote the words of President Eliot, of dining in "the grandest college-hall...
